Evelyn Stevens, who left her job on Wall Street to become a pro cyclist, finished the World Championships on Saturday in 15th place. Ms. Stevens drove the pace in the service of teammate Kristin Armstrong, and put the hurt on some of the top women cyclists. "She did what was asked of her to a factor of 10," says Jim Miller, director of athletics for USA cycling. "I'm excited to see where she'll be in two or three years."
